We went to Great Falls with our friends, Tyler and Danielle Kraus, in the end of September - timing it just before we thought the weather would get cold. After a dinner of pizza and snacks (mostly snacks, as Michael is thoroughly un-American at the moment and doesn't like pizza) we walked along the trail toward the old river locks, throwing and kicking what we think were walnuts.

Along the way we stopped to examine a hollow tree which, until going to the park at Great Falls, I didn't know existed outside of books.
Once we got to the locks the boys ran, climbed up stone "bricks," and wrecklessly jumped off again. Michael and his friend Tyler are great pals and loved playing together.
